Hi, Saturday night and I am packing! My few days back in France are nearly up! Sadly the weather has been hopeless, but I have had a very productive few days... I have tiled the lobby floor - which was a total nightmare due to an uneven floor to start with and poor quality tiles, but still, tis done!

And more fun, from my point of view, I have done loads of sewing, as in dressmaking - well actually I have made 5 pairs of trousers, a pair of shorts and four skirts!! Impressed? Me too! I don't normally get the time or the interest, but the last couple of days just seemed to asked to be filled with fabric! And now I am inspired, hopefully it will carry on through the winter!

Nothing much else to report.. when I came back over here via Portsmouth I was told I wasn't allowed to take any dairy products to France (no great hardship) but when they said including chocolate, well I claimed not to have any, and luckily they didn't check I would have just had to eat the whole bag of Minstrels in front of them! Still was quite shocking that restrictions were in place - even if they weren't enforcing them very strictly! Sad state of affairs (we have had a few instances of foot & mouth in cattle, that is why there is the ban, for any of you that didn't understand why! )

Anyway, toodlepip from me, til I am back in Blighty and then only for a day or so before my next big adventure, travelling to LA via NY on Tuesday! xx
